So we need to talk about reality for a second.
My grandfather suffered from a heart attack a few nights ago. Main reason I haven't made a post in a few days. He is in for a very long recovery. He has a clogged artery in his heart. Main reason..... He ate like shit. (sorry for the language)..
If that does not make someone want to change the way they eat, then you are looking at your future. And its harsh, mean and the truth. If you continue to eat McDonalds and Burger king every day because its "easy" then you have one bad future ahead of you. And I truly know how mean that is coming off. But I cant feel bad about it. I just need everyone to open their eyes and realize that the easy way in life, can very well be the hardest thing.
The last day of my cleanse on a different note. Actually happy its almost done. I'm ready to have food. Make sure you ease back into solid food. On your first day off, eat and drink low sugar and low carb foods. Let your body ease back into solids. Like you would with a baby. Start with mushy food, then work your way back.
I will continue to blog. As I think up my next "Fad" diet.... Any ideas would be amazing! Or if there is a diet you have heard a lot about and want to try it and your nervous to try it out. Just let me know and I will give it a shot!
And please keep my family in your thoughts. Positive thoughts would be amazing.
Stay Tuned!!!

Day 8: ALMOST DONE
Hello everyone!
So I am on day 8. And I can say it doesn't suck with out laughing.
I had someone ask me if I was able to do this while I am at work. And you sure can! I do not have to use the restroom 24/7, and I'm at the point where I'm not really craving all the junk food like I was when I first started. And I am one person who really likes my food.
I did forget to post the receipt.. makes it a little hard for people who would like to try this master cleanse if you don't have a receipt.
You'll want to get 8 ounces of water. Myself personally I used bottled water. God only knows whats in the tap water. Unless you have a fancy system that filters it for you. (which I don't)
Then its 2 TABLESPOONS of a grade B organic maple syrup. I will warn you, this stuff is pricy. So before you spend 25-30 dollars on this alone, make sure you are dedicated to this!
You'll also need 2 TABLESPOONS of lemon juice. Now I am a little lazy and I didn't want to take the time to hand squeeze lemons. So I went and got organic lemon juice. Its about 6 dollars but when you think about it that's the same you would spend on lemons and probably more. But that is completely up to you.
Then the most important thing to pay attention to. you only need a tenth of a TEASPOON of cayenne pepper. ONLY A TENTH OF A TEASPOON!! I feel like I can not stress that enough. Because if anyone is like me. You will just see a teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and use the entire teaspoon. Yeah don't do that. Its the worst thing in the world. So only A TENTH OF A TEASPOON!! Don't do that unless you feel like puking. Its not fun.
Now when I first started, I bought two of everything. Minus the cayenne pepper. One organic thing of that will last you years. The maple syrup has lasted along time. I have had to buy more lemon juice. I can make about 12-15 drinks from one organic lemon juice. I couldn't even tell you how many lemons you would need. But you are more then welcome to try it out.
Now make sure you drink at least 6 drinks. I am been drinking about 6 big ones, so I drink 16 ounces instead just because I get hungry faster.
On a different note. As this diet comes to an end. I will be starting a new one. So if you have any ideas on what diet I should try next, please feel free to tell me!
Also I have noticed that I have visitors from all over the world, thank you!
Thank you everyone who has read my blog and left amazing comments!!

Master Cleanse, not even sure what day im on
So I do apologize that I haven't posted in a few days. I did not think my blog would ever actually bring peoples attention so I slacked off.
It gets easier. By day 3, your ready to take the world by the horns and do anything. By not eating the carbs, and gluten, and sugar. your body feels amazing. Like you to, could be a Victoria secret model. Now I know that will only happen in my dreams but I can still dream.
So come Thursday I know I will be done. I only have a few days left of this, plus easing back into eating normal food. Which I wish I had planned this better. My 21st birthday is on July 7th and I will be dieting. That's a little rough.
So if your just starting this diet. POWER THROUGH THE HUNGER!!
For the chef who commented on a recent post of mine. You can do it. I can understand that you want to taste the food. So every time you feel like you will cave. Eat ice. Or whenever I wanted to cave, I would start singing. Keep your mouth busy. If it means eating ice or singing.
And if you start to feel hungry, you can have as many of these drinks as you want. For me, I didn't have a hard time drinking away when I realized how much Cayenne pepper I could stand to taste. And through out the day I would either increase it by just a dash or not much at all. Its really up to you and how much you like before you want to barf.
Now that I know people actually read these, I will be posting more and more. Thank you everyone!

Master Cleanse Real day one
So today was the second "first day" of my master cleanse. And let me tell you, it went AMAZING!!!!
I thought today was going to be terrible. I thought today was going to be terrible. But let me tell you, it went so much better then I could have ever expected. I was preparing for the worst.
I have learned that it is okay to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper you put in there. They want you to put a tenth of a teaspoon in it. Which isn't a lot to begin with. But for some people (like myself) I cant handle that much. Makes me puke it all up. So I add a little less, and I can handle drinking It just fine.
Ive learned through out the day, that I need to make two drinks when I get hungry or I am tempted to eat. So instead of making two 8 ounce drinks I just make one 16 ounce one. Which I don't really know if that's okay. But it works for me. I drank about four 16 ounce ones today. It was hard to get use to it t first. But its not so bad. You really don't get tempted to eat.
I came home today, and I even made pizza rolls. Getting ready to eat them. and I realized two things. I wasn't even hungry and I threw it away. I made a drink instead and didn't even think twice about the pizza rolls. It was probably the best thing all day.
The issues I face. For the longest time, I drank and ate nothing but crap. Mass amounts of caffeine in my body, sugar and junk. So the first real day, where I don't have all that crap in my body. I feel great. But I also feel like shit. I am jittery. I looked it up earlier to see the side effects from not having any caffeine, and its about the same as coming off a semi hard drug. Like Hydrocodone's or Opiates.
I cant complain that all the junk is getting out of my body. Its actually nice for a change. Knowing that my once healthy body, turned to junk, is having a hard detox. Right now, I fell like crap. But at the end of the day. I know that this will be the best thing that has ever happen to me. Having this blog.
I always had a hard time finding some reason to lose weight. It should've been for me right? I always find some excuse to just give up. And having this blog, where maybe a lot of people don't read it. But a handful of people do. And maybe you guys read it out of boredom, I don't even know. But it feels like reason enough to actually go through with this. So the few people who are actually reading this out of boredom or actually reading it for information. Thank you.
So off I go to drink my laxative tea, the new season of Orange is the new Black and bedtime.
Goodnight everyone.
And please, if you feel the need to leave a comment. GO FOR IT!!!! I will answer and everything if its there. Thank you again!

Master Cleanse day one
So as I may have mentioned that today was the day I was starting my 10 day cleanse......
I failed. Miserably.
I shouldn't say miserably. I made it until 4 pm. 4:15 to be exact. It wasn't until I went to work that every single temptation was thrown in my face. And as much as I wanted to cave at first, I didn't. And then it was my "dinner" break and I caved. I didn't have a terrible meal at all. I had a salad and cottage cheese. That's not terrible.
People need to understand that food itself is addicting. And to just give it up, its pretty hard.
So tomorrow I will be starting fresh. I know what to expect now. It sucks.
So the few drinks I did have, I'm not going to sugar coat it. It sucks. Imagine the worst shot of alcohol you've ever had. Now imagine taking that shot multiple times day. Its nasty. It wouldn't be so bad if the Cayenne pepper wasn't the worst taste in the world. The drink does go down better after a few times. I mean its not amazing by any means. But its not terrible.
And the worst part is, the taste stays in your mouth forever. You cant drink anything else after the drink besides water, which water is never a great chaser. Myself personally, I cheated and used a sucker. WRONG!!
Another thing. I cant drink the salt water flush. I end up barfing it up. So I had to switch to black coffee. Coffee will help with a laxative. It will probably help way more then the salt water flush ever would.
So tomorrow is a new day. A new day to start fresh. Sticking strictly to the diet and nothing but the diet.
Wish me luck! Until tomorrow!

Eve of the Master cleanse
So I have a few things I should address before talking about the important things.
One: it was brought to my attention that I should define my definition of "fad". So when I say, that I will being all the "fad" diets this summer, it just means that when anyone of us googles "lose weight fast" or "lose 10 pounds in 10 days" anything along those lines, the really big hits, That is why I chose to do the Master Cleanse for my first one. Almost everyone I have talked to has heard of this cleanse. How celebrities swear by this. So when I saw I'm doing all the "fad" diets, that is what I mean.
So I am starting the first day of the Master Cleanse tomorrow. Its Monday the 19th of June. That's where the journey begins. I have everything I need. I have my "poop tea" as I like to call it, all ready to go for tonight. I am beyond nervous to start this. But I am also very excited. I have known a few people who have done this cleanse and they haven't always gotten the best results.
I will have a new post around 11:30 pm every night. I normally go to bed around midnight so 11:30 pm will have to work for the few people who actually read this..
I will hopefully post through out the day, to let everyone know how this adventure is going!!
WISH ME LUCK!!!

pre-cleanse day 1:
So today I spent the day getting everything ready for my new adventure.
Went to the store, got myself some Organic "Greatness". And I must say, that shit is pricey! I paid 5 dollars for organic lemon juice in a 12 ounce glass. 5 Dollars!! If I wasn't doing this cleanse for my blog, there is no way in hell I would pay that much.
So this weekend I will be in pre-cleanse mode. Basically preparing my body, that I will not be eating basically nothing for the next week and a half.
No food. For an entire week and a half. The calorie count for this is 600-800.
So slowly but surely I will be eating less and less this weekend.
And its Pride weekend! That's even worst! They have probably the best food in the world.
Today is a pretty boring day.

First "diet"...... prepapring myself
So, speaking from experience, working as much as I am I truly do not have enough time or motivation to work out. Its more the motivation that I personally struggle with. For some reason I really hate going to the gym. People are so quick to judge, doesn't matter what size you are.
So I decided for this summer, I will be trying all the "fad" diets.
I suppose it will be my honest view on if these diets work, how it effects your body, and if the weight actually stays off.
I can tell you right now, I am over weight. I wont be letting everyone know where my weight stands right now. But I will be documenting the weight lose and at the end of the summer I will post pictures. The truth will come out.
So for my first "fad" is going to be the Master Cleanse.
It basically consist of drinking this mixture of maple syrup, cayenne pepper, lemon juice and water. I truly cant imagine that tastes good whats so ever. It truly sounds disgusting. But if Beyoncé can do it, hell so can I!
So the morning starts off with drinking a cup of salt water. Which is another word for Laxatives. Then I drink the mixture. I'm suppose to drink this concoction, at LEAST 8 times a day. For better results 12 times. Then I finish the day off with Laxative tea. MMMMMMM yum.
Soon enough I will be finding out what is so amazing about this Master Cleanse.
Stay Tuned!
